Swimwear Care 101: How to Keep Your Swimwear Looking Brand New

Your luxury swimwear deserves the same level of care you’d give your finest garments. Whether it’s a pair of briefs or a hot thong, proper maintenance helps extend the life, fit, and vibrant color of your swimwear.

Made from a high-performance blend of 80% nylon and 20% spandex, our swimwear is designed to sculpt and support while offering stretch, comfort, and quick-drying performance. But like all premium fabrics, it thrives with the right care.

Below is your complete guide to washing, drying, and storing your swimwear—because confidence starts with clothing that looks and feels as good as new.

 

 

How to Wash Nylon-Spandex Swimwear

Machine Wash Gently (With Care)

While hand washing is still the gold standard, we know it’s not always convenient. If you choose to use a washing machine, follow these best practices to protect your swimwear’s structure, stretch, and finish.

Here’s how to do it right:

  • Turn your swimwear inside out to protect the fabric’s outer finish.
  • Place it in a mesh laundry bag to prevent friction, snagging, and stretching.
  • Use the delicate or gentle cycle on your machine with cold water only (never warm or hot).
  • Add a mild detergent made for delicates or activewear. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
  • Do not overload the machine. Keep the load light to minimize stress on the fabric.

Important: Even when using a washing machine, treat your swimwear as a delicate performance garment—not everyday laundry.

 

 

How to Dry Swimwear Properly

Air Dry Flat — Never Use a Dryer

Heat is the enemy of spandex. Avoid wringing, twisting, or using a tumble dryer.

  • Lay your swimwear flat on a clean towel in the shade.
  • Avoid hanging by the waistband or straps — it can cause stretching and distortion.
  • Never dry in direct sunlight as UV rays can fade color and degrade fibers.

 

🚫 What to Avoid

🚫 No Bleach – Harsh chemicals destroy both color and elasticity.
 🚫 No Fabric Softeners – They leave residue that interferes with quick-dry performance.
 🚫 No Ironing – The heat melts spandex fibers.
 🚫 No Dry Cleaning – The solvents used are too harsh for performance fabrics.
 🚫 No Rough Surfaces – Sitting or rubbing against abrasive textures like pool edges or concrete can cause pilling or snags.
